Twain spent twelve years researching in the libraries of Paris before he spent and additional two years writing.brbrIf you have not read this book before, you should read the novel that Mark Twain considered his best. For older readers, Mark Twain's Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc is also an extremely accurate account of her entire life. It is entertaining enough to hold the imaginations of children without delving too deeply into the harsher elements of war and imprisonment. Mark Twain's renowned story of Saint Joan of Arc is a warm and heartfelt novel while still containing his classic humor and wit.brbrThis is a very good introduction to the life of Joan of Arc for readers of all ages. Read more about why we love this book in our journal here.This third book (of three), "Trial and Martyrdom", covers Joan's life from the time of her capture, through her imprisonment and trial, and up to her death.

Give as: A get-well-soon gift to a loved one who is bedridden or as a graduation gift for someone you know will make the world a better place. Give to: Your mother or a dear friend who exemplifies kindness, courage and purity. Second and harder, try to discern what themes are playing out in your life and what action is required of you. Few are more lovable than little Joan from Domremy and we are privileged through Twain’s creation to bask in her twinkling childhood before launching into her divinely directed mission and undaunted adolescence. This was a brilliant decision and one that impacts the entire tone of the book and allows for instructive character creation. One splendid element of this book is that it is written from the fictional point of view of Joan’s childhood friend and later personal secretary. We will, however, tell you some of the magic Twain weaves into his version of her story. We don't want to tell much about the book because the delight was in knowing very little when we picked it up. We can't recommend this book more highly.
Mark Twain considered this his life's work, but few have ever heard of it.
